Oh, girl, I know how you feel…well sort of. I had pre-eclampsia with my firstborn. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks and had him at 34 weeks. It was scary and there were so many yucky drugs involved, but when I got that epidural – after 12 hours of labor on pit, mag, amnio-flushing, and antibiotics – it was well-received.

Glad that things are going well for you now. Our little boy turned three last month and he’s as healthy as a horse. He even made it to the 13th percentile for weight! Wish I could be that excited about weight-gain.

We’ll continue to pray for Cora as she grows. And for your healing too!!

Yea! I’ve been away from the computer for almost a week and a half. I was wondering how you were doing, and then to catch up on your blog, I find out that your beautiful baby girl was born on my birthday! Cora is a beautiful name, too! Congratulations!

Praise God for his grace and miraculous power. I am not one of the 5 guys who skipped the post, I read it entirely. Our youngest was born at 32 weeks and many of the things you shared brought back a flood of memories. I read much of your post with tears in my eyes. It was a scary time and had we not been able to turn to God for strength I am not sure how we would have managed. My beloved went into labor to early and they gave her mag sulfate to try and stop the contractions. Nothing doing, Jack was ready to make his entrance and he would not be stopped. (He hasn’t changed any in the 7 years since his birth.) The doctor listed all of the problems he would be dealing with by being born this early and he kept telling my now terrified wife “you must not have this baby now!” Of course it was out of her hands. Jack was born via c-section an hour later. He had to remain in the NICU for 17 days until he could swallow but PRAISE GOD other than his “I will do it my way” attitude, he is perfectly healthy and has had not problems.

Thanks for sharing!

God Bless!

Hi Toni,
I’m new to your blog and love it! Baby Cora is beautiful! Can’t wait to read the rest of her birth story and also the next installment of “our story”. Actually, I’m very wrapped up in that story and was a little put out when I realized the whole thing wasn’t posted yet!:)

Take care and God bless your precious family.

What a delivery! But she’s here and she’s beautiful! I also had a bag of flour back in 2000. Was just talking about her birth earlier today. My little one was almost 20 lbs. at 7 months. She certainly didn’t lose any time catching up! Best wishes to you and your family!
